Morning all
Up early as hubby hasn't gone to work he has toothache and an appointment at lunchtime.
I have little this morning as her nursery has closed for Easter. But hubby and I are going to a concert this evening and need to get to Wycombe to see his Dad first, so not all day.
I was unwell yesterday, don't think it was anything I ate but I was sick and in bed by 8 consequently I slept fitfully all night.

Oh well it's a new day today.

Take care everyone

Linda :o) XxX

Hope you're feeling better today Linda, wonder what it was. When does little M and her family go away?

Maddie, you'll adore Olly, he's gorgeous, looking at his photo makes you want to pick him up and give him a big hug.

Wonder why the kids down there get 3 weeks off and they only get 2 weeks here. They don't all get the same 2 weeks though.......... so it makes it seem like 3 weeks when I go for the shopping. I hate shopping when the kids are off.

Where's Stephen?

Morning All,

Stephen was out tidying some tools in one of the sheds.

Where's my Breakfast ? Is the cook on Easter Hols ?

Today is tidy up day. Loads to sort through and put back in their alloted place. I'm sure they have feet and just wander off when I'm not looking.
Why my Chainsaw moved from the Gardening Shed to the Garage is anyones guess.......it wasn't my doing. It's too dangerous to leave lying around.

Looking forward to the family coming home. Big hugs from my wee angels.

Have a good day ya all.

Morning all, had a disturbed night so am late,
Haha Stephen, wish I WAS on holiday.

Breakfast is now ready.
Cereal or fruit.
Bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes and hash browns,
all on hotplate.
Hot rolls, toast or crumpets, marmalade or honey.
Tea, coffee or juice.

Help yourselves.

Hope everyone has a good day.
Go with God and in good health.

Errrrr, think I'll have sausage, egg and hash browns, Jean, thank you.

I'm trying to talk myself into making some drapes, had the machine out for ages but keep putting it off.

I am so blessed to have lived long enough to see my hair turning gray.

pauline i think it could have some think to do with the 6 week school holidays
we may have a sholter one than the kids up your end
i no the head teachers have some salt of meating to pland all the holidays

I find the schools here have different holidays they break up here a week before they do in Hertfordshire and some schools in Hertfordshire have a week longer whether they have a shorter holiday during the year I have no idea. my grandchildren have two weeks holiday in Middlesex.
I wonder if they work out the school year and then each school area choose the holidays.

It was bedlum in the Shop this morning kids running everywhere one was even going around on his scooter he must have been about 9 years old and the shop was full of older people shopping trying to get around the children. why do mother lets their children run riot like that ? there is a children palyground right outside the store.

I had fun today. one of my neighbours was booked to do her washing in the laundry and she could not open the door so she rang me I tried and could not . I said it is blocked somehow inside/ I tapped on the window to see if someone was in there went around the back to see if the window was open incase someone had got in there. in the end I told my friend come in to my flat and pull the cord( as our Estate Manager is on holiday in Poland not due back till next monday night). asked the problem she told them he said I will phone you back when I have found something out. still not phoned back half an hour ten minutes still not so she pulled the cord again he said someone is on their way to see to it.
It was a estate manger from another block of flats I knew her . she tried with my keys it would not open I said no one can use that laundry till next tuesday if the door is not opened. I said perhaps WD 40 would do it she had some in her car it lossen the lock but not the door at the top and bottom. someone came along and threw his self at the door and the door flew open in he went. now with the catch up people can get in and out now. needeless to say the door is well oiled.. so I had to tell people they would be and hour at least late for using the machines in the laundry.


Rita,

Linda just in case I dont get on here tomorrow
Many Happy Returns of the day
Hope you have a great birthday
and you go somewhere nice to celebrate it.

Love Rita

A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it.

Hello everyone,
I'm glad it's the week-end. I think it's been a long old week.
I've gone back to wearing my hat. I couldn't think straight at work. Hopefully Monday will be better!

ok maddie think i must of done your emaill addy rong as it has ben sent back to me so will do it again

LOL Pat, does you hat make you think better?

Maddie, I was talking about Olly, he's Shelly's grandson....... Little legs.

That's very good Dermot, it made me laugh.......... and it's probably true....... LOL

Rita, I'm surprised that a child was allowed to use a scooter in the shop. It's a wonder he didn't knock anyone over.

Pauline,
that's my thinking cap! ha ha!

Maddie, believe me, Pauline is right, you could eat little Olly he's that delicious, and is going to be a proper little lady killer when he grows up.
I know what you mean about noisy kids, I met my friends this morning for a coffee. We couldn't hear ourselves speaking, for all the noise the kids were making. Why oh why, don't parents take more responsability for their children.
When mine were younger, they were taught to have consideration for other people. In fact my grandchildren have been bought up the same, so we must have been doing something right back then.
We were so afraid that a child would get scalded by a hot drink being spilt over them this morning. They were darting all over the place, and the mums were just ignoring them.

Rita, I had to giggle at your escapades today. These things always seem to happen when your estate manager is away. Are you sure she didn't lock the place up so that none of you could do your washing. LOL
She's a funny kettle of fish at the best of times isn't she. And she would probably not have been much help had she have been there. So she probably did you a favour by being away, at least that way the problem got sorted quicker.

Pat, thank god I am not the only one to have had one of those weeks.
This morning I was waiting for my toast to brown,I had made my tea, and couldn't understand why the toast was taking so long, uhhhmmm I had forgotten to put the bread in the toaster.
Yesterday I got up from the table whilst having coffee with my friends, and spilt a whole cup all over the place.
I went to the supermarket to get the shopping, and tried to pay with the wrong card, and couldn't understand why it would not accept the flippin number. It was a good job I realised on my third attempt that I had put the wrong card into the machine.
Thank Crunchie it's Friday.

Mo, for heaven's sake.......... lock yourself in your bedroom before anything else happens, and stay there till this week is over. Might be the only way to keep you safe.

Pauline, if I locked myself in my bedroom, I would probably fall out of bed
knowing my luck this week.

Evening All,

Mo, You're an Accident waiting to happen !!!!!!!

I think we all have disaster days/weeks from time to time.

My best (worst) week...........

Near cut the top off my finger with a power saw. The saw stopped when it hit the bone.

Fell off the roof,,,,,,,,multiple bruising all over my body.

Cracked two ribs when I took the full weight of a car engine on them.

Split my head open when a scaffold pole fell on me.

Glad I dont have many weeks like that.

Today I didn't have any accidents.

Having a wee relax after having had my tea/

Catch you later.

Oh good grief Steve, I feel quite lucky after hearing about your bad luck.
Enjoy your tea.
